Well, look at the ingredients, there are no grains. However all the varities they have are fish, so you might not want it. They do include fish broth, tuna, shrimp, crab, herrings and the like. I do like him eating a large range of foods though, so that's why I supplement with the ground chicken and give him pieces of whatever meat I'm eating.
BTW: These are the teeny cans like Sheba cat food. They do fortify them though, which if you look at the ingredient list it lists the chemicals (aka vitamins) they add. From a link someone posted, I think the Sheba cat food is pretty much all meat as well. I'll look next time I'm at the grocery store. One thing is, all canned cat food that I"ve looked at is fortified with taurine, vit E, thiamine and other things. After reading the article about why you shouldn't feed your cat a diet of fish, I don't think they took into account that most pet food is generally fortified with those missing vitamins and minerals.
My cat is hooked on Carb countdown milk, so I give him a bit of that everyday and that is super high in calcium. It's funny, he never really liked regular milk or cream much, be he LOVES carb countdown.
